The real safari, the way the Bedouin have travelled for at least a couple of thousand years, is by camel and on foot. Camel safaris include periods of walking, and most people are happy to alternate between riding and walking from time to time. You can also cover the entire distance on foot, using the camel only to carry bags, food, and water. Walking and camel safaris involve camping in the desert, which is one of the highlights of the experience. They can last from a couple of days to two weeks or even longer.
Safaris are all inclusive, that is all food, hot drinks, water, mattress and blankets are provided apart from transfers, the camel and guide. Camels are tied together or led on a lead in most cases. Popular destinations include the Coloured Canyon, Ein Khudra oasis and the White Canyon, Jebel Makharum, Arada Canyon and Serabit el Khadim.
Walking vs camel safari – same routes, but different number of camels. In first case, camels are only needed to carry bags and supplies, in the second every person must have their camel.
These hikes and treks are some of the most usual routes, but we can tailor them to suit your requirements. You can also combine a walking/camel safari in the desert with a mountain hike to see a bit of both worlds. Treks to remote sites can be organized on request.
